Higher education: founded on faith, but ...
Women's leadership first emerged in faith-based organizations such as convents. Moving into secular leadership has pushed women to act more like men. Is something lost when they do?
Leadership at its best conveys vision and values, the stuff of faith. Dr. Margaret Weber, dean of the graduate school of education and psychology at Pepper-dine University, spoke at the August 2006 women's leadership roundtable at Oxford, England on the role of faith in forming women as leaders.

After more than 20 years at Oklahoma State University, where she was associate dean of the college of human environmental sciences, in 2001 she became a dean at faith-based Pepper-dine University in Malibu CA. It's an independent not-for-profit affiliated with the Churches of Christ.
One of the first women hired to leadership there, Weber teaches a leadership theory course to graduate students, where they share her frustration with outdated theories that separate leadership from meaning and value.
"Faith is the lens through which I have had to make some of my most difficult decisions," she said. How do faith and leadership develop? Do they affect women differently from men? What's the role of faith in the highest forms of leadership?
